"PARAMOUNT
ON PARADE"
Stars of the Screen Put On
Some Classy Numbers.
(Reviewed by J. C. Lunan)
Paramount parades its stars, doz
ens of them, in the latest and best
of the reviews to come to the Ro
mina. Unlike many of the other re
views produced to date, "Paramount
on Parade" has somwhat of a con
tinuity and for that reason if no
ether, is far ahead of anything of
the kind produced to date.
From the opening scene in a din
ing room, in which Jack Okie makes
the round of the stars until the final
fade out; there is something doing
every minute of the two hour en
tertainment. And it is exceptionally
opod entertainment all the way, em
bracing clever dialogue, dramatic
and comedy scenes, catchy songs and
good dancing.
Warner Iland who made the char
acter of Dr. Fu Manchu famous on
the screen, Clive Brook who revived
Sherlock Homes in shadowland, Wil
liam Powell, the great Phila Vance
of the Van Dine murder mystery
stories and Eugene Pallette, the
pompous sergeant of detectives in
the Van Dine series, put on a semi
dramatic sketch which hasrmore than
one humorous moment.
Then one by one, in song and
story, the stars of the parade pass
in review, each doing his or her stunt
for the entertainment of the masses.
Although it is several days since I
reviewed the picture, I still remem
ber distinctly many faces that pass
ed in review, folks of the silversheet
that have reached the zenith of en
tertainment heights both ton stage
and screen. There was Richard Ar
len, who perhaps you will best re
member for his clever work in Wings,
Blonde Jean Arthur, a nice little ac
tress and with plenty of possibili
ties, George Bancroft, star of "La
dies Love Brutes" and many other
successes and who puts on a real
sketch showing how things are done
at the average party and how you
would like to treat the participants.
And, of course, Clara Bow, the
"It" girl is there along with Evelyn
Brent, that, great English actress who
is seen in a French bedroom farce
comedy playlet with Maurice Cheva
lier, the present best bet of the Para
mount constellation .This playlet is
? w °w and will make you laugh,
gasps and then cover your eyes.
Mary Brian and Buddy Rogers
put on a clock scene with chorus
and music which proves one of the
tiight bits of the show and is only
outdone by Maurice Chevalier's col-
Gl ' number, "Sweeping the Clouds
Away". The great Maurice is at his
tast in this number and he is also
i! aid to excellent advantage in his
sclo number, "All I Want Is Just
One Girl."
Ruth Chatterton, former Broadway
provides a touching little dra
matic offering of the after the war
Pti iocl in France and if you are able
tears at the close, you
d! e undoubtedly tear-proof. Then in
ra pid order and each doing their
* urn , you see Nancy Carroll, Gary
Cooper, Leon Errol, the man who
the slide famous in "Sally"
it was presented on Broadway,
Ka i T Francis, the best dressed wo
jjan in pictures, Skeets Gallagher,
aii T Green of Kibitzer fame;
* 'tizi Green, a child sensation from
ai n?r f South Carolina wTiose impor
tations of famous stars are star
tlingly true to life>
Helf ; n Kane, Dennis King, Abe Yy
an ri "d his band, Lillian Roth, Fay
and a score of others are on '
Parade j n review which
was directed ably and well by Miss
Elsie Janis, stage star of two de
cades ago. In addition to the var
ious vaudeville ntfmbers, the musi
cal numbers are both catchy and en
i
tertaining. There are eleven song
hits in the show and each and every
one of them is a good one.
j In "Paramount on Parade," there
jis something to laugh at. Something
[to thrill to! Something to marvel at!
[Something to surprise you. From
j spicy cocktail to salty nuts, the en
| tertainment's complete in "Paira-
I mount on Parade," and by all means
do not miss it when it comes next
Monday to the Rornina.

COSTS FARMERS A
LESS TO SELL
BY TELEPHONE
bwa AsMciatnn Gets Better
Prices fir Stack aid
Farm Produce
•j
As a result of a telephone market
ing plan recently pat into effect in
the State of lowa, farmers and
stock raisers are getting better
prices for their hogs, and sales
costs have proven extremely low, in
spite of a somewhat dall and slng
gish market.
The new plan was launched by
the lowa Cooperative Livestock
Shippers' Association early in
March. The Associaton has con
tacts with various local shipping
associations. The central agency
is located in the City of Des Moines,
and it is this agency which handles
all the market responsibilities for
the farmer. The farmer's only re
sponsibility is to bring his stock
to the local association.
detail of each transaction
is arranged by Long Distance tele
phone. The best prices for the day
are obtained by the headquarters
office from scattered markets. Then
the prices are telephoned to local
shipping associations, the details
are consummated, and the stock is
finally shipped from the original
loading station to the market which
offers the best price.
In the few months in which this
new telephone marketing scheme
has been in effect, the results have
proven exceptionally encouraging.
During the first month, approxi
mately 100 carloads of livest6ck
were sold through the Association
at what has been termed exception
al prices, through selecting mar
kets best snited to the individual
association. The central agency
'headquarters in Des Moines em
ploys sequence calling lists, Long
Distance directories, and similar
aids. Every morning the various
markets and buyers who are in a
position to serve the lowa stock
raisers are called, and in this man
ner the condition of the markets,
the day's prices for stock of various
classes and weights, and other in
formation is obtained and offered
to the various local associations and
when these associations acquire a
truck or carload of stock they at
once get in touch by telephone with i
the central agency.
When prices are unusually at
tractive, the members of the local
associations that are members of
the organisation are notified at once
ftufl advised to sell any stock they
may have on hand, but on days
•when prices are unusually low the
associations are advised to hold
their stock for awhile.
